چکیده
Abstract : Congenital malformations of various sorts account for a large percentage of childhood hydrocephalus but associated Craniovertebral junction (CVJ) anomaly has not been reported earlier. Though the anaesthetic concerns for isolated arrested hydrocephalus and CVJ anomaly has been reported but the concomitant occurrence of both and its anaesthetic implications is not mentioned in literature. Here we present the anaesthetic management of a child with arrested hydrocephalus along with CVJ anomaly leading to compression of cervicomedullary junction and myelopathy scheduled for decompression and fixation of craniovertebral junction.

Craniovertebral junction: normal anatomy, craniometry, and congenital anomalies.
The craniovertebral junction (CVJ) comprises the occiput, atlas, and axis and is visible in most magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies of the brain. Craniometric measurements used in radiologic assessment of CVJ anomalies include the Chamberlain line, Wackenheim clivus baseline, Welcher basal angle, and atlantooccipital joint axis angle. Most anomalies of the occiput are associated with decre...

BACKGROUND Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an inherited disorder affecting the connective tissue. EDS can manifest with symptoms attributable to the spine or craniovertebral junction (CVJ). In addition to EDS, numerous congenital, developmental, or acquired disorders can increase ligamentous laxity in the CVJ and cervical spine. Resulting abnormalities can lead to morbidity and serious neurolog...
متن کاملTrue oblique axis fracture associated with congenital anomalies of the upper cervical spine: Case report of an unusual fracture pattern
BACKGROUND Acute traumatic axis fractures are common cervical spine injuries often caused by road accidents or falls. They are usually classified into three different types, namely, odontoid fractures, Hangman's fractures, and miscellaneous fractures. Congenital malformations of the craniovertebral junction (CVJ), although typically asymptomatic, may result in neural compression or instability,...
متن کاملAnomalies of the craniovertebral junction – a very rare case report
A very rare case of anomalies of the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) is reported owing to its clinical significance and rarity. MRI and CT scan studies of the CVJ of a 52-year-old female patient revealed a hypoplastic clivus, an occipital vertebra, partial occipitalization of the atlas and atlas posterior rachischisis. The presence of an occipital vertebra and occipitalization of the atlas in th...
